Marla Jo Fisher writes the Frumpy Mom column each week.
Last night, I went out to dinner and had more wine than usual, due to neural disturbances caused by motherhood.
All the college-age kids would leave the island to go to university in the States, but they’d return for summers and holidays. So Rick went back to college after the summer, and I didn’t see him again until he came home for the Christmas break. I walked to the party – none of us had cars and you could walk everywhere on the base – and arrived to find Rick already there. With a pretty college girl as a date.
I wasn’t a stranger to rum. My friends and I had been going off-base for some time to “rum shacks,” where no one cared how old you were and the rum-and-Cokes were strong. But I’d never had more than one. I’m sure it goes without saying that the parents had no idea we did this. Usually, mine were asleep by the time we got home.
I looked up and, to my horror, there was Rick. He had taken his date home and returned to spend time with me.
